Multimedia Inventions From The Quasi Laboratory®
"Sometimes I am psychedelic... sometimes I am abstract... sometimes I am surreal... sometimes I am just slap silly. Nonetheless Quasi is a buffet of quick comebacks, colorful metaphors and ecstasy in riddles. My messages are open to your own taste, mood, and interpretation. Take what you find useful and apply it to your life...leave the rest behind. If at anytime you think you've figured me out, I will shift my shape and re-shuffle the puzzle...as a blender constantly mixing new ingredients of herbs and spices, spinning at velocities beyond human comprehension...and if you ever catch me standing still, it is because my mind is in another dimension. I suggest you jump in and ride the wave of lightning imagination.... rock the world...there are dreams of light and spirit designed just for you... open your senses...taste the paradise in the garden of the creator. "

"If you are ever in a mood for a dramatic presentation characterized by heavy use of suspense, sensational episodes, romantic sentiment, and a conventionally happy ending, then you are invited to my laboratory the next day it is sunny and warm; spend some time in the garden of our minds upon the patio furniture sipping spirits, kissing philosophy, and conversation about making abstract topics tangible and making deep of ordinary topics...I will be a host of sorts, a DJ of your favorites, and a guide through cosmic windows... Every human spirit has a hunger, an emptiness that drives them to conquer and transcend the implacable, in hopes to find purpose for their life. Let us discover together the reasons to be, for I believe I hold a component to your puzzle and you have one of mine! Namaste! "
- Kasey Cole Braun

Artist Statement

"...one of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the fetters of one's own ever-shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought. After a certain high level of technical skill is achieved, science and art tend to coalesce in esthetics, plasticity, and form. The greatest scientists are always artists as well."

~ Albert Einstein


Quasi Creator was incarnated of fire from an incubation bath and replication chamber; genetic blueprint consisting of divine ingenuity and human insanity - I am an independently trained artist, progressively evolving talents, and formulating ideas through a conduit of inspiration that is the world around me.

Originally from Toledo, Ohio I have always been inclined to drawing and creative writing until recently oil painting and digital imagery have become my passion! While still incorporating fundamental techniques, I enjoy exploring unfamiliar mediums and experimenting with new technology as it manifests. I produce original and personally tailored pieces of art, specializing in emotional portraits, surreal backdrops, abstract concepts, images of vitality, and graphic design.

As I am a single dad, my children stimulate my own sense of youth and adventure. The contagiousness of their kinetic enthusiasm promotes vibrancy within our home environment and thus fuels the sparks of imagination that result in living dreams and boundless vision. With levity and optimism I see things where many people choose not to imagine. I see opportunity in challenges. I see the positive in downtrodden circumstances. I find the beauty in nature and the brilliance of human diversity. I recognize the truth when I see it. I see a hurting world in need of more compassion, more kindness, and more generosity. I see my own future as I invent it! "Life is not about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself."

Purpose, opportunity, and versatility have all conjugated together in Ann Arbor, Michigan summoning my current presence, where the studio now exists on location "The Quasi Laboratory". It is within these walls that the intangibles of the supernatural spirit meet with the aesthetics of the physical world, manufacturing a hybrid of unceasing creativity. The motive of freelance innovation has designed an Internet portfolio that will market and supply all of my various multimedia. Current and future projects include artwork, novels, philosophical & psychological essays, poetry, illustrated stories for youth, screenplays, animation, film, photography, web-design, music, travel, and philanthropy.
